3 Mini Makeovers for Guests

Do you have company coming over? Here are some quick and easy decorating ideas to help your guests feel right at home.

Make an Entrance

An entryway with floral wallpaper, pink walls, wooden console table and coat rack.

The entryway is the first thing your guests will see, so it should be inviting.

First, we painted the door a deep navy, and then we installed a complementary peel-and-stick wallpaper to add instant personality.

A hallway mirror brings in extra light, a large planter adds life and an area rug helps define the space. Add some textured lighting and finishing touches to prepare for a warm welcome.

In the Tropics

A powder room with palm wallpaper, blue wainscotting, a white vanity, mirror and bronzed hardware.

Next, let’s look at this powder room. It already looks great, but a little color will make guests feel like they have their own private getaway.

Start with another fun peel-and-stick wallpaper pattern, then paint the wainscotting a cheerful blue to match.

Next, change out the faucet and other bath hardware to match the oil-rubbed bronze finish. Add some greenery, wall art and a cozy rug to bring the comfort level up, and you’re finished.

Boho Vibes

A living room with an orange stripe, wicker lighting, baskets, and linen chairs with teal pillows.

Last, we’ll address the living room. This is where your guests will likely spend most of their time, so make it memorable.

Let's start with color. A paint stripe can have just as much of an impact as a whole accent wall.

Hanging shelves above the seating area add coziness, especially once you layer in décor elements and hanging plants. Add some bright pillows and a few more plants, and you’ve got a space that your friends and family will feel right at home in.
